In this episode of Workday Gold, hosts Keith Bitikofer and Christian Delcid tackle the transformative impact of AI on Workday professionals. They share practical examples of how they're using tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot to revolutionize their daily work, from meeting preparation to request categorization and document creation. Through candid discussion, they reveal how different AI platforms produce dramatically different results and why "AI first" thinking is essential for career survival in 2025.

Beyond just tool recommendations, Keith and Christian explore the deeper implications for Workday analysts' career paths, including the crucial "translator" role between technology and business needs. They address the concept of the "super worker" and why waiting for formal training or company directives is a dangerous career strategy. The episode concludes with Christian's powerful reframing of AI adoption: not as a threat, but as an opportunity to focus on "doing the things that only I can do" for organizations.
